Is the function "Information" available through the WB submenu also available as a CLI function?

I know you can launch it with WB arexx port, but then its window appears on the Workbench screen.
What i am after is opening it on the public screen from which it is launched.

You can get the file version information with the Version command,
You can see the file name, size, and protection bits, last date and time it was changed and the file comment with the List command.
You can change the comment with the the filenote command.
I think that's everything on the "file" tab of information.

I do not know of any support for the "Icon" tab without going outside of the O.S. supplied commands.

See attachment. 68k, but with source code.

@LyleHaze

It's to be able to change tooltypes ( eg for a filename you have in clipboard) without having to go through the WB menu
@ ThomasRapp
thanks for the hint.
Sources are always interesting
It opens on a defined pubscreen too: another thing i was looking for
I noted: wbinfo is in my c: drawer, as a standard OS4.1 command i guess.

Yes, it is in OS4 as a native command.

Try "help wbinfo".

Best regards,
